520 A bestselling journalist delivers the never-before-told
story of the plush animal craze that became the tulip
mania of the 1990s In the annals of consumer crazes,
nothing compares to Beanie Babies. In just three years,
collectors who saw the toys as a means of speculation made
creator Ty Warner, an eccentric college dropout, a
billionaire'without advertising or big-box distribution.
Beanie Babies were ten percent of eBay's sales in its
early days, with an average selling price of $30'six times
the retail price. At the peak of the bubble in 1999,
Warner reported a personal income of $662 million'more
than Hasbro and Mattel combined. The end of the craze was
swift and devastating, with 'rare' Beanie Babies deemed
worthless as quickly as they'd once been deemed priceless.
Bissonnette draws on hundreds of interviews (including a
visit to a man who lives with his 40,000 Ty products and
an in-prison interview with a guy who killed a coworker
over a Beanie Baby debt) for the first book on the
strangest speculative mania of all time.
520 Traces the Beanie Babies consumer craze of the 1990s,
drawing on hundreds of interviews to document the line's
spectacular rise and fall.
